    I've recently started running! I love it! Knowing I can push my body faster and farther everyday gives me so much strength(Mental and Physical)!

    Runner here as well. I can run up to 10k. I love long distance running for endurance, I haven't been able to now because of the heat and humidity I feel like I'm going to pass out. I have a treadmill at home but its not the same. I also enjoy extremely fast sprints or short distances at 8-9 mph to burn more calories like running a mile in 7 minutes. I was running up to 50 miles a week. Lost a ton of weight but my knees were taking a huge toll. Now I do Insanity 6 days a week and run 3-4 days about 20 miles a week. Have a few 5k runs planned and a 10k as well. Long live the shin splints and bengay for the knees.

    This thread was old I hesitated on replying, but hey, I'm a trend follower! lol :)

    I would love more running friends on here; feel free to add me.

    I've only run 5ks and 1 10k but next year want to run a half. I know I need to work on my food and strength training, so any help and encouragement with those aspects would be great! And I think I'm a pretty good motivator and encourager myself... ;)

    You can add me if you'd like. I run 2-3 times a week... anywhere from 5k-17k at this point. Will be doing a series of obstacle runs this year including Tough Mudder and Spartan Beast. My road racing has progressed to trails, but the majority of my runs are still on pavement.

    I have been running for just over a year. Ran sporting life 10K yesterday. I am now going to start training for a half marathon in Sept. I can highly recommend the running room. I have been running with them since the beginning. The group support and clinics are great. You run 3 times a week and build up to a distance that you register for and then do a race at the end of the clinic. Never thought I would be able to go this distance. Keep it up!!!!!

    After a few injuries last spring I've finally started running again! I hd a 5k in May and another one in June and I just signed up for my first 10k this October! I'd love running friends to help with motivation and for any tips on preventing injuries :smile:

    I am just starting to discover my love for running. (I used to hate it...but I was so much more unhealthier then).
    Baby steps. I do a combination of running and walking.
